* The contents of SEAC 90/2 and Annex 1 and 2 of SEAC 90/3 have not been circulated outside the committee as these documents contain prepublication reports and opinions provided in confidence.

On the afternoon of Thursday 24th November SEAC will consider unpublished data on vCJD infectivity in blood and unpublished research in animal models examining human to human transmission of vCJD and the correlation between abnormal prion protein concentrations and TSE infectivity. This part of the meeting will be held in closed session to allow discussion of this unpublished scientific information. This is in accordance with SEAC's code of practice.
